Birchip Race 1

Mallee Landscapes Maiden Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

HEAR ME MAJOR TOM (3) is at the track for the first time. By Skyvalley and hails from the Greg Leight stable. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. ISLAND RUBEE (5) is looking to improve on her last-start sixth behind Rockinwithattitude at Group Three level over 1720m at Melton eight days ago. Drawn well so a return to form will not surprise. FAR AS POSSIBLE (4) last appeared when ninth over 2200m at Horsham nine months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. FRENCHMARTINI (6) is stepping out for the first time. By Cardigan Boko and hails from the Greg Leight stable. Was not far away in a recent trial. Sure to prove very hard to beat.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr5) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, well beaten by Nothing I Want (2:18.10) in 3 LIFETIME WINS on February 16 at $34. Will need some luck to figure.

Well-beaten 20 days ago at Globe Derby Park over 1800m, before that 6th (Fr6) over 2230m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park, beaten 35 m by Daisy Bouchea (2:52.90) in NR up to 40 on February 10 at $19. Must improve sharply.
